Shore Fishing

Shore fishing in Cancún offers a fantastic way to enjoy fishing without the need for a boat. To get the most out of your experience, it’s essential to come prepared. Early morning or late afternoon are the best times to fish, as cooler water temperatures attract more fish to the shallows. Light tackle works best for targeting species like snook, bonefish, and tarpon. Using live bait such as shrimp or sardines is highly effective, and fishing near jetties, piers, or rock formations can increase your chances of success. Don’t forget sun protection, as Cancún’s sun can be intense even when you’re close to shore!
